Production

In January 2007, when asked if a third film continuing the plot of the 2006 remake, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning was in production, producer Bradley Fuller stated that there were no future plans for Platinum Dunes to continue the franchise. In October 2009, Twisted Pictures landed a deal with the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre rights-holders Bob Kuhn and Kim Henkel after discussions with Platinum Dunes fell apart. The deal is for multiple films. Carl Mazzocone signed on to produce The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, with Avi Lerner and Mark Burg serving as executive producers. It was written by Debra Sullivan and Adam Marcus, with later drafts by Kirsten Elms and John Luessenhop. Luessenhop will also direct.

The film moved into pre-production in June 2011. Principal photography began in late July 2011 at Millennium Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana. Filming of a pool party sequence took place on August 1.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D is scheduled to be released on October 5, 2012.
